We stayed at the charming Birchwood Motel last week and were very pleased with everything. Friendly service, clean, bright & comfortable rooms, a lot of nice touches.The owners have obviously put a lot of thought into how to make their guests comfortable- delicious homemade baking made on site for breakfast with great coffee, very clean rooms with comfortable beds...what they...

One of the cleanest places we have ever stayed...you could have eaten off the floor! But that's about all I can say...the whole place was very bland and with no hot beverages available until breakfast,it was not a comfortable stay.Surely, as the owners are so eco friendly,it would be more green to provide coffee than to have a dozen or...

We did not have advance reservations in Camden and were hoping to find a fun welcoming place to stay within our budget. The Birchwood Motel fit the bill perfectly. This updated motor inn a couple miles north of Camden has been remodeled by the current owners and offers rooms as clean and as comfortable as you will find for this... More

I stayed here in 2009 before it was redone. Since then the owners have added wifi and green touches like solar hot water and green amenities. It is set back off of the highway and very quiet. We had the corner king room which was really spacious and clean. The view of Penobscot Bay is what is called a "long... More

We stayed for 3 nights during the 3rd week of August under a special rate available that can be booked through the motel’s website. The motel is situated a few miles north of Camden which we appreciated. It sits on an incline with a distant view from the porch of Penobscot Bay. The owners have chosen to operate it in... More

My husband, myself, brother-in-law and sister-in-law were on motorcycles for a 7 day trip up route 1 stopping at interesting places. Stopped in Camden (wonderful town) for dinner and stay for the night. Looked for lodging in the AAA book. The Birchwood looked interesting. The price was good, rooms were just like home and super clean with alot of attention... More

Wow! Eco-friendly and sustainable right down to the blueberry scones made fresh by the owner! The soap was from Maine, the mattress, all the furniture were all made in Maine;) View of the ocean from afar! Clean and Classy! Did I mention affordable?! No? Then, yes it was inexpensive compared to other competitors. I would definitely return again and again.... More

We stayed in the motel for one night yet had a wonderful experience. The motel is owned by a family and you can sense it when you're there. The price was fair and had a discount for AAA members. The room was clean and the sheets were bright-clean. Coffee and home-baked cookies in the morning with a great view from... More

Birchwood is wonderful and reflects in every way its eco-friendly hosts, Jenny and Eric. My sister and I stayed 5 nights in the brand new 2-bedroom apartment -- we could have stayed forever! This is not your ordinary motel. The property is beautifully situated, the decor is tasteful and thoughtful, our rooms were fresh and spotless, and the breakfast scones... More
